The completed stage, which will provide more than 2 million pounds of thrust to help power the first Artemis mission to the Moon, will be shipped via the agency's Pegasus barge from Michoud to NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, later this month. Once at Stennis, the Artemis rocket stage will be loaded into the B-2 Test Stand for the core stage Green Run test series. The comprehensive test campaign will progressively bring the entire core stage, including its avionics and engines, to life for the first time to verify the stage is fit for flight ahead of the launch of Artemis I.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage04-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage04.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage05-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage05.jpg" width="400" height="267" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage06-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/nasa_artemis1_core_stage06.jpg" width="400" height="267" border="0"></a></center> <a name="010820a"></a>[/B][/QUOTE]
